He may have been the bad guy in the eyes of the nation during his award-winning stint in Happy Valley, but actor James Norton will show his softer side on TV this week.
Norton, who was incredible as the dastardly Tommy Lee Royce in the smash hit show written and directed by Sally Wainwright, will be reading a CBeebies Bedtime Story to help young children understand diabetes and how it can be managed. The actor, who has type one diabetes, will read ‘How to Manage a Mammoth’ written by Dr Rose Stewart and illustrated by Richard Dwyer.
The story features eight-year-old Jake, who is learning to live with his diabetes, and turns his condition into a mammoth called Mel. Jake and his mother work out how to shrinkMel to a manageable size. Norton, who was diagnosed with the condition at the age of 22, says: “My diabetes animal is a big shaggy dog called Bruce. When I first got Bruce, he was a puppy. He was difficult to control because he was always overexcited. Now, he's a bit older and calmer.
